Danny, Stevens and Sullinger have also said that outright. Although I doubt they would say anything else. I don't think we will tank. It is not in the DNA of Stevens, Rondo, Bradley, Green, Sullinger and Olynyk.
I don't know about that. Green looks like he could be comfortable tanking.
Of all of our players, the 2 that clearly would not down with tanking are Rondo and Wallace. Rondo has too much pride and Wallace tries too hard. Bradley also does not seem to have an off switch. The other guys seem to be nothing special when it comes to drive.
In the beginning of the season, no one tanks. After a lot of losing, players start to give up on winning and management starts playing guys for next year. For example, Humph would get reduced minutes after our record gets bad enough so that there is no point in developing a guy who will be done in the offseason.
